Speaking about his exit from The X Factor to TV Guide, Astro revealed that he was never truly comfortable on the Fox reality series.

"I wasn't expecting [to be voted off the show]. I was expecting to be in the bottom two before I got sent home. I was just happy that I got sent home, to be honest," Astro told the magazine.

The aspiring musician continued: "It may sound weird, but having to do one song a week and having to perform with dancers when you don't always necessarily want them and having to step certain places - that's not the type of artist I am.

"If you really know me and you've been watching my performances since I was like 13… you'll see that I was really uncomfortable [on The X Factor]."

Astro also explained that he was ultimately only pleased with a single performance during his X Factor stint.

"My only performance that I really liked [was] the Eminem 'Lose Yourself' performance [in week three]," he commented. "That was it, because it was just me standing there with a spotlight. That's how I'm used to performing."
